No I don't think we want David back. How many times did he get burned? 3? Yeah, great play on the fumble and return, but I like who we have. I
feel better about this year's D than I have about any D the Colts have had since they've been in Indy. Granted, that's faint praise, but just
having a "good" defense is enough, given the offensive firepower. And they might be better than just "good". Looked pretty good against last
year's number one offense, I think.

Gonzalez will get there. He's a rook and they'll bring him along slowly, because they can. Like with Addai last year.

I think this year's team is better than the 2005 team, which was better than last year's championship team. Just depends on how things roll, but
the Colts are certainly in the mix to repeat. No question in my mind.

One thing I did notice was a little variance in the spread used (remember, the line changes day to day depending on which way the money in Vegas is
going, and if there are any injury news). To be fair, we should use the same line (Wednesday morning) so that everyone is approaching the games the
same.

Week 2 is just around the corner.

On a much sadder note; my hope and prayers go out to Kevin Everett and his family... A speedy recovery, with the best possible outcome.

This one scares me. I'll have to wait and see if Eli plays or if they're jamming the Pillsbury Throwboy in there. I've seen reports Manning will
be out a month with a partially separated shoulder, and reports that it's bruised, but he might be ready to go.

In the meantime, Browns have sent Charlie Frye to Seattle. Meaning Brady Quinn moves up to #2 behind Derek Anderson (who was beaten out by Frye in
preseason for the starting job).

Hard to conclude too much after a week. I'm taking the Giants just because it's a home game for them and the Packers don't scare me much.
Strahan's late arrival may have been a factor in the Giants' D performance. The Pack doesn't have any deep threat. Lorenzen could be the Next Big
Thing (no pun intended) and if nothing else, they could suit him up at D Tackle.
